Chiefs' Rashee Rice facing multi-game suspension after sentencing
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has been sentenced for his role in a multi-car crash that took place in 2024, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
'ESPN sources: A Dallas County judge just sentenced Chiefs WR Rashee Rice to five years probation and 30 days of jail time that can be served during those five years stemming for his role in a multi-car crash in Dallas during the 2024 offseason. Now that the judge has ruled, the NFL can expedite its disciplinary process and Rice is likely to receive a multi-game suspension,' Schefter wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
With the ruling coming from the Dallas County judge, there's a good chance that Rice will receive the multi-game suspension this upcoming season.
The car crash took place in March 2024, when Rice was driving a Lamborghini Urus, driving at a speed of 199 mph before the collision. At least seven people were injured in the crash.
After the decision by the Dallas County judge, Rice's lawyer released a statement on his behalf.
'Last March, I was involved in a high-speed accident in Dallas,' the statement said. 'There have been a lot of sleepless nights thinking about the damages that my actions caused, and I will continue working within my means to make sure that everyone impacted will be made whole. I urge everyone to mind the speed limit, drive safe and drive smart.
'Last and certainly not least, I am profoundly sorry for the physical damages to person and property. I fully apologize for the harm I caused to innocent drivers and their families.'
The Chiefs will now have to find a way to replace the third-year player, and it's uncertain how long the suspension will be. Rice was barely on the field last year, after he suffered a season-ending LCL injury four games into the season.
In his rookie season, Rice had 79 catches for 938 yards and seven touchdowns.

Car accident involving Panthers CB Jaycee Horn caught on camera
According to TMZ, Wednesday morning's car accident involving Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn has been captured on camera. The video was posted by charlottedashcam on Instagram yesterday afternoon, and shows Horn's black Mercedes-Maybach SUV colliding with a pickup truck at an intersection. Per the team's official statement, the accident occurred at the corner of Charlotte's Mint and Morehead Streets, just outside of Bank of America Stadium. Here's the clip: Horn did not participate in Wednesday's joint practice with the Cleveland Browns, but was present and seen doing individual work alongside fellow starting corner Mike Jackson. Head coach Dave Canales was asked about Horn's status following the session. "Yeah, I don't have a lot of details," Canales told reporters. "I'm glad that Jaycee was okay. He did have to have a few stitches in his left thumb area. And so, they got that all cleaned up sutured up. He's day-to-day right now. We're just gonna kinda evaluate. It doesn't seem like anything else happened." Canales ruled Horn out of Friday's preseason matchup with the Browns. He does, however, hope the Pro Bowl defender will be available for the team's second exhibition game in Houston on Aug. article originally appeared on Panthers Wire: Car accident involving Panthers CB Jaycee Horn caught on camera

Report: ESPN will assume lease at NFLN's 75,000-square-foot L.A. studio
The "non-binding" agreement between the NFL and ESPN will eventually bind ESPN to a significant expense. Via Ryan Glasspiegel of ESPN will assume the lease for NFL Network's 75,000-square-foot studio near SoFi Stadium. The duration of the lease wasn't disclosed. Neither was the rent. It's hard not to wonder whether the lease included a term contemplating one rent level if the NFL is leasing the space from Rams owner Stan Kroenke, and a higher rent level if someone else assumes the role of lessee. Regardless, ESPN will be giving up more than equity as part of its deal to assumed the NFL's somewhat distressed media assets. And it's apparently part of the price to pay for ensuring that ESPN will continue to have a broadcast package indefinitely into the future.
